Tight End has become a deep position with plenty of options. Almost every team in the league has a tight end that produces fantasy points, so don’t just leave in your top TE while his team is on a bye.
Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, Brent Celek, and Jacob Tamme are all top 15 options but they definitely won’t score even a single point this week since they won’t be playing. Instead, grab one of these guys below and get yourself some points. To help you out, we even went five spots deeper and ranked the top 15 tight ends.
Joining me in this week’s rankings were staff members Steve Copps (SC) and Jeffrey Littrell (JL). Our rankings have been combined to come up with a solid composite ranking which should give you a good idea who to pick up and start this week. NR stands for not rated and counts as 20 for averaging purposes.

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
